Worked great once I figured out how far too pull the tasty out to see the tab. ....BTW pull the tab up and don't try to push it in like I did for 15 minutes. Works like a charm once you follow the directions!

Thank you, thank you! I just fixed my son's xbox saving me big $. Had a hard time with the tab, but finally used a small pocket knife and kept pushing up on that back left side and it finally released with ease. Had to try it a few times before I got the thing to shut off at the right point, but finally success.

No, I can't get it to open all the way or close all the way. I don't have XBox. Tower has the dvd drive in it. Never had a moment's prob w/ it till now! What's up??? And yes, the drive is slightly askew.

suggestion to get the drive out push the tab down from the top or up from the bottom. you will feel the difference when it is ready to come out but have to pull and wiggle it hard to get it out. also hit the eject button then wait for a second while the gears spin before pulling the power. I pulled the power as soon as I heard the ding and the same problem was not fixed. then put the tray in and push it all the way in while the power is still out. then power it on.
